First worm hits jailbroken iPhones!

ikee-iphone-wallpaperA worm targeting jailbroken iPhones is spreading in Australia!

The worm will “only” Rick Roll your wallpaper, and display the text “ikee is never going to give you up”. If this has happened to you, a restore would be the correct action. If you have an jailbroken iPhone with SSH enabled, be sure to change the default password. This will prevent your iPhone from being targeted by the worm.

The worm doesn’t do any harm to your phone, but the next variant could easily access all your personal e-mails and files on the phone, so be sure to secure your iPhone before it’s too late!
